Hardly, the only things better cost £800 +. They are still the the best cards for the money, are you saying that people should have to be rocking 690's and Titans in order to max a game like ArmA 3?

I sure hope not, that kind of attitude is what keeps developers lazy, 7970/680/7950/670 should be able to run anything out at the moment beyond Ultra and for years to come. Hardware is miles and miles ahead of software at the moment.

WTF is with your svr DB? Keep getting kicked?? ;(

MGT server

probably because its an alpha and we have no server files to propely host it, hence the crashes.

Actually like this a lot more now I've given it more time. Wish it wouldn't crash every game though.

Err my 570 runs this fine on pretty much max with a draw distance I'll never use and the only real compromise being 2 X AA which I would never use above normally anyway as I don't notice the difference.

Interestingly, I am getting 30-40 FPS on the OCUK wasteland server.

Cards running at about 50-60% and 1 core of the CPU running at about 65% the rest 20% lol..

wasteland server ****ed, crashes when u try to join.

BaDBoY_uK · 9 Mar 2013 at 19:23

Bored now tbh. Need a new map with cities

Xcept1 · 9 Mar 2013 at 19:23

Ran through my mission earlier. 5 man coop, works pretty well. Quite chuffed with it! Few small things to add and it's good to go.

Sorry but we can't stare at remote desktop all bloody day!

Come into TS and tell us if there is problem.

ARMA 3 - spoiler due to size

dpbadger · 9 Mar 2013 at 20:13

Right I just had my first little go on the Wasteland server and I have a few questions. I chose green, do I shoot everyone and what if I chose blue or the other one. Also Is there a comms channel to use?

kunoichia · 9 Mar 2013 at 21:56

blue and red are teams. Green is **** everyone up you see.

if you press / and press down (or left and right on arrowkeys cant remember) u can scroll trough different channels to type. capslock is VOIP.

Had a couple hours on wasteland on with a bunch on TS. Proper game and wasteland MGT server stayed up

dpbadger · 9 Mar 2013 at 22:08

Ok thanks. It is many years since I was on Arma 2 and I am a bit rusty. I have been killed many many times and only fired at someone once..

dpbadger · 9 Mar 2013 at 22:09

Also sometimes when I am getting gear it freezes and crashes.

How big is the download on this release?

Ninja_Ferret · 9 Mar 2013 at 22:37

I would love for there to be more wildlife (sharks would make diving so much more exiting)

From the screenshots it doesn't look like the shots in post #1 to me

Can it be downloaded as demo? I would like to see for myself before purchase (and if I can actually play it)

edit - also failing to see ones like these
